Hmm, have to say I'm amazed no-one pulled the pin out of one during rehearsals. I've had cast dry-fire prop rifles, lock themselves into prop handcuffs and even try and light fake cigarettes, generally speaking if you give an actor a prop they will play with it so I'm gobsmacked this company isn't holding a memorial service instead of a perfomance.

Wow. I'm also amazed that no-one got hurt. Every actor I've ever worked with who has been given any kind of prop which comes apart will take it apart - often absent-mindedly - the second they stop thinking about what they're doing. I'd say these guys were very lucky indeed.
